Chip..as ususal you are right on the money…. I only want to add to your list.

Toyman, Killer Frost, Livewire.Westher Wizard…Killer 4 pack or future six pack! Throw in Supes,Lois Lane and a little Mr Myx and you have …Mayhem in Metropolis!!

VANDAL SAVAGE- 6 Pack!! add Savage time Batman, Wonderwoman, Steve Trevor,Sgt Rock,Blackhawk….SOLD!

I really want to see a Flash rogues 3 pack with Trickster and Heatwave added to the pack

I think a great 6 pack for next year would be an emerald dawn theme with Two Manhunters and 3 new GLS such as Gaius Zed, Larvox, Aresia or one of the 5 billion out there. If they want to they can even throw in a repaint of Katma and the STAS Kyle Rayner.

I think Crimson Avenger can go either way…with the closed coat or re-using the cape from Gentleman Ghost ( from this little piggy) he could be packed with Circe and a B’wanna Beast or a whole new set with the General, Speedy and anyone else that would work from Patriot act.Maybe Shining Knight with a re-sculpted head, Vigilante or a newly sculpted Stargirl. Or replace the general with Stripes and boom!!intant hit!

Parademons need to be singles or in a 3 pack army builder…nuff said!!!

Luthor-ac with 5 poa Justice Lords clones Bats, Supes,MM,WW,straightlegged Hawkgirl all with the red dots.

Static with some other future leaguers such as Aquagirl,GL, Bikini Barda,Supes, Micron or Chronos

Love to see Clayface in a six pack with a new group of Bat villans…
Poison Ivy,Firefly,Killer Croc, Mad hatter, Riddler and a bonus baby doll pack in

Mongul with Supes and Kanjar Ro

Kalibak, Granni, Desaad, Steppenwolf,Kanto,Detroyer Darkseid
Anarky on Apokolypse!!

whew…this line still has some ground to cover…come on 2010

Clay, the Cheetah and Batman Beyond 3pks are just now hitting store shelves. Don’t give up hope for those just yet. Buy up the last few at one store and return them to another if you have to to get new product in. It sounds like you have several Targets nearby, whereas I have one 7 miles away and the next closest stores are over thirty.

Altho I do agree that Superwoman was rare, as I found numerous others in that wave, but only saw her ONCE.

re: Flash Rogues – sub in Heat Wave for another MM. MM has already had single and 3pk releases, and I’ve seen a few customs using MM as a base for a Heat Wave.

also, I would bump the Ultimen to a 6pk with WW, mostly because she bonded with Longshadow, otherwise I would pimp out Prof. Hamilton or even Galatea for a show accurate group.

[...] JLU: Finishing the Show 2010 – ActionFigureInsider.Com For full disclosure, I don’t really buy JLU figures anymore. I’ve moved on to DCUC and I’m happy in that size and scale, but occasionally I do buy some JLU. After SDCC, I’m looking forward to Firestorm, Plastic Man, and the Doom Patrol. But all those characters I want? They have something in common – they weren’t ever on the show. I’m glad to be getting them, but I know there are a lot of fans out there who are worried they won’t be getting some show-featured characters. Every line has some missing figures, and Chip Cataldo has posted this blog asking Mattel to look at JLU, while the line is still pushing forward, and take 15 characters from the show and give them plastic form. You may not be buying JLU, but any toy collector can feel for fans of a line with unfinished teams or missing figures. [...]

Matty Mattel’s lack of insight or response to this very blog speaks volumes. Add to that their overwhelming disdain for the apparent ‘low sales’ of the Matty four packs and their all but blunt references to Target maybe not carrying JLU in 2010 and…well, you know.

I want to get excited.
There are a lot of characters coming I’d like to get.
But I just can’t
The local Targets never saw the second wave of 6 packs. Never saw Cheetah or Batman Beyond. Only 3 of 6 ever saw the Superwoman wave of singles.
Never. Saw. Them.
Don’t tell me about busy seasons and sometimes thing sell out quickly, they never made it here.
They say this line depends on my support. Fine. Put new product on a shelf where I have access to it and we’ll see.
Otherwise I’m done. I’m done driving all over town when news hits the web they are out. I’m done wrangling with eBay scalpers.
Done being teased over toys I can never find.

This is too Awesome to imagine, and would leave me in the poor house!

I totally agree on that theme about new tooling for no-show characters, that’s a waste!
From your choices I would substitute Static by Gypsy, she is a JLU official member and the only female member missing in plastic.
Instead of the Superfriends 3pack I would love to see a 6pack with the Ultimen and maybe an Aquaman or any Cadmus figure.

I totaly agree with this list except it really should be a list of 20
With the last five being:
Creeper
Dr. Midnight
Speedy
Gypsy
Desaad

then I believe that JLU will be finished

Last year, I pretty much agreed with a couple of exceptions. Now? 100% agreement. These 15 characters simply must be made. Mattel may not be listening, but they sure should be.

Your list is right on the money Chip.. although for appearances and importance to the show I’d also include Agent Faraday. Man I’d love a figure of him.

On a similar theme, am I the only one annoyed that we’re getting Superfriends figures in JLU instead of the Superfriends stand-ins that were actually on the show?

Adult Static

As for “Adult Static” only, I’ll point out you are referring to “Old Static”. “Adult Static” appears in an episode of Static Shock where Teen Static gets jolted to the future and teams up with Batman Beyond to rescue “Adult Static” from being a captive of Kobra.

And I would be happy to get ANY version of Static in ANY line at this point.
